Good ol' Etch-a-Sketch
-----------------------------------
It started off as just teaching myself arrow key movement on a box. I elaborated on that, and the etch a sketch took off from there. Arrow keys to move, space bar to clear, enter to change colour, mouse click, to start drawing from a new location (where you clicked) "D" to make pensize bigger, "A" to make it smaller. One flaw i cant seem to fix, is when you mouseclick somewhere else, it changes the pen size back to default. Can anyone fix this?

yea you should have an instruction menu to explain how to completely use your program

Heres the new code with instructions

put "Welcome to the etch-a-sketch"
put " "
put "Some commands you can use are:"
put "A and S keys to increase/decrease pen size"
put "Enter to change colours (does not work on slower comps)"
put "Space bar to 'shake' the etch a sketch"
put "Mouseclick to draw from a different location, fixing the age old problem"
put "of the etch a sketch (leaving a line across as you tried a smiley face"
put "Lastly, you can go through the edge of the screen and appear on the other side"
put " "
put "Any key to continue"

IOt's a pretty cool program, i like how when it goes off screen it goes back at the opposite pole... try to make it to change colors every time you go a diffenert direction....that would be sweet :wink:

pretty cool...but when i made the thing relly big it messed up so that it was like a line or something, not a square..then it started switching so a made it bigger then a made it smaller again.
